    Abstract: Various laser processing schemes are disclosed for producing various types of hetero-junction and homo-junction solar cells. The methods include base and emitter contact opening, selective doping, metal ablation, annealing to improve passivation, and selective emitter doping via laser heating of aluminum. Also, laser processing schemes are disclosed that are suitable for selective amorphous silicon ablation and selective doping for hetero-junction solar cells. Laser ablation techniques are disclosed that leave the underlying silicon substantially undamaged. These laser processing techniques may be applied to semiconductor substrates, including crystalline silicon substrates, and further including crystalline silicon substrates which are manufactured either through wire saw wafering methods or via epitaxial deposition processes, or other cleavage techniques such as ion implantation and heating, that are either planar or textured/three-dimensional. These techniques are highly suited to thin crystalline semiconductor, including thin crystalline silicon films.

    Abstract: Fabrication methods for making back contact back junction solar cells. A base dopant source, a field emitter dopant source, and an emitter dopant source are deposited on the back surface of a solar cell substrate. The solar cell substrate is annealed forming emitter contact regions corresponding to the emitter dopant source, field emitter regions corresponding to the field emitter dopant, and base contact regions corresponding to the base dopant source. The base dopant source, field emitter dopant source, and the emitter dopant source are etched. A backside passivation layer is deposited on the back surface of the solar cell. Contacts are opened to the emitter contact regions and the base contact regions through the backside passivation layer. Patterned base metallization and patterned emitter metallization is formed on the back surface of the solar cell with electrical interconnections to the base contact regions and the emitter contact regions.
